Try the "I don't care about cookies" addon, paired with "cookie auto-delete". The first should swipe away most of those silly overlays for you. The second is configurable to either forget cookies after the tab is cl

How many times do people have to have this moronic debate. Games have been blamed (and found blameless) since the get-go. The responsible party is the one who decides to take a gun to a place full of people and start shooting, end of story.

first, I'd watch dmesg from boot, to see if something useful pops up: open a console and type watch -n 1 "dmesg | tail -n 40" to watch the last 40 lines that are reported by dmesg (some distros will require you by default to

Only a problem if people trust llms, and that's only a problem because most people apparently believe the hype, so the problem is rooted in the same issue (greed) as pretty-much all other high-revenue streams in the world: the makers a

Could it possibly be related to the dogged persistence of those who would ai all the things? I've seen quite a few "help, my vibe-coded app doesn't quite work, and it's 16k lines of code, I need a real programmer" p

Color me unsurprised. It should be common knowledge that they hallucinate and are not suitable for fields requiring accuracy. This is unlikely to change until we drop the llm and work on real agi, like Carmack is doing. Neural nets may not

Note that the context is "ai" and model training. Nvidia is cashing in whilst people still put faith in these crappy autocorrects. We'll see how long that lasts. In the meantime, they're forgetting their gamer base, and

1. They want money 2. They are a bunch of talentless hacks, for the most part, so, like llms, they regurgitate the past with hallucinations of how good original stories can be "improved" 3. People are dumb enough to keep paying at

Software 4.0 is where people return to the craft instead of consuming the ai slop diarrhea that is stinking up the world around us. Eventually, people will learn to stop putting faith in things and just get the job done. Stop trying to side

One reason for lower comp-sci enrollments is simply because these tertiary education at these institutions is CRAZY expensive, and most people will be paying off student loans for years. A better view of the situation would encompass people

Responses to the facts: 1. Cool! No-one wants to maintain X11. People are so stuck on the sunken cost in Wayland that they will stick to their guns and disparage anything else. It's more of an indicator about Wayland than X11... 2. Sou

Now they just need to make them not suck. I jumped to team red believing the opensource driver hype and regretted it. I could (fairly) consistently cause driver crashes by opening the map in DRG. And the driver doesn't properly recover

Considering the domains this is likely a network test, though it may be reporting the results of the connection to bing.com to cxcs, which apparently collects telemetry. On one hand, I get it - a lot of us ping google.com to quickly check t

Kind of supports the "background threads" model I have for our brains - that the brain is constantly gnawing away at problems, and the solutions often present at a later date, often feeling as if arbitrarily.
